Abstract
Photoinduced structural changes were recognized early on in the study of the optical properties of chalcogenide glasses, and more than two decades ago it was further noted that these changes could make the glasses optically anisotropic if polarized light is used for the illumination [1], The latter phenomena have been termed vectoral effects.
